Illinois Claim on Estate is the process by which someone can make a claim on the estate of a deceased person. These claims are made by people who have a valid legal interest in the estate, such as creditors, heirs, or beneficiaries. The claims can be made against the estate for unpaid debts, distributions, or other legal matters. The claims must be filed in the county court where the estate is being administered. There are two types of Illinois Claim on Estate: Predate Claims and Post-Death Claims. Pre-Death Claims are claims that were made against the estate before the decedent's death. This could include creditors who are owed money by the decedent, or heirs who believe they are entitled to a portion of the estate. Post-Death Claims are claims that are made after the decedent's death. These can include creditors who have a claim against the estate, heirs who are seeking a portion of the estate, or beneficiaries who are owed money from the estate.
